RIGHTS AND
RESPONSIBILITIES |
The aim of our
Practice is to provide a Service of
High Quality Professional Care for
our patients and to care for each
other. This is achieved by working
together. Please help us to help
you.
You have the right:
- To be greeted
in a welcoming and caring manner
- To privacy
and confidentiality
- To be treated
with courtesy and respect by
members of the staff
- To see your
health records, subject to any
limitation in law

VIOLENT and
ABUSIVE BEHAVIOUR |
The practice
operates a zero tolerance policy
towards violence and reserves the
right to remove from the registered
list, patients who are violent or
abusive towards staff or other
patients or who wilfully damage
practice property or the property of
other patients. In those
circumstances patients will be
advised how they can access General
Practice Services. They may be
required to use special, more
secure, GP service specifically
designed for violent patients.
Everyone working in the NHS has a
legal duty to keep information about
you
confidential and secure. You may be
receiving care from other people
such as Social Services, and we may
need to share information about you
to make sure you get the best care.
However, this will only be done if
there us a genuine need for
information to be shared and this
will always be kept confidential. If
you want to see your own health
records, please ask us. You are
entitled to receive a copy, but a
charge will be made. In certain
circumstances your right to see some
details in your health records may
be limited in your own interest. The
NHS publishes a range of leaflets
giving more details about patient
information which is available from
the information Governance Manager
at Derbyshire County Primary Care
Trust.
